Played this for the first time last night. The game has come up a few times in recent reading (including the news that Unreal Engine and its independent version for Fortnite will be merged into a single engine for UE6), so it’s been on my mind. I didn’t know much about it apart from what I’ve (inevitably) absorbed through cultural osmosis.

Without much thought, I booted it up on the PS5 and jumped into the Star Wars-themed ‘Droid Tycoon’. After a little while, my wife joined in on her iPad. Hours flew by. I can see how this becomes addictive… The tone and aesthetics have never appealed to me, but when playing with someone you know, it can be unexpectedly amusing (in a gleefully cringeworthy sort of way).

Although I’m not particularly interested in Battle Royale, I should give it a try at some point, if only to know what it’s all about.

Merry Christmas everyone. Fun Fortnite Fact: John Travolta will be in Fortnite now as Vincent Vega. Meaning that this is the closest thing to getting real life mafia boss, John Gotti, in Fortnite.

Here in the U.S., we have the MPAA rating for movies and the ESRB rating for games. I'd say PG-13 is the movie equivalent to the T rating in video games, both ratings recommended for 13+. Thing is though, movies can have 1 "fuck".

Fortnite, a T-rated game, made a tweet about Chapter 6 Season 4 (which releases tomorrow) containing the word, "fuck" albeit censored. So that has me thinking. What T-rated game says "fuck" other than Crazy Taxi in the Dreamcast? No censoring. Just an unfiltered "fuck". enter image description here

I'm fucking angry

Fortnite stole James Earl Jones voice to create a fucking Darth Vader AI chatbot (my article in spanish).

No. I don't think their children and grandchildren can "give permission" to use the work of Jones in this way. This is beyond offensive.

Fortnite removed bullets from the game.

No, really.

They replaced all firearms this season with Star Wars blasters and those don't need bullets. But they do overheat.

This is gonna be a very interesting season.

False advertisement to the max

Got the game for a fun multiplayer tower defends game to play with friends. The game mode got completely ignored when the company learned they could suck the creditcards of kids parents dry with a battle royal mode.

J'ai aimé ce jeu comme tout le monde à sa sortie, j'y ai joué 1 an et depuis je ne peut absolument plus le voir. La saturation est totale et le plaisir d'y retourné est néant. Pourtant fortnite était un jeu rafraîchissant par ses graphismes et sa construction ( utilisé d'une manière assez simple au début) mais il n'apportait rien de plus que cette même construction. Toutes les "bonnes" idées était plagié sur les autres battle royale, il n'innovait pas de lui même. Le plaisir n'est plus là aussi à cause des duels de construction. Je n'ai jamais été un bon fightbuilder parce que je n'aime pas ça tout simplement. J'en ai eu vite marre de voir que chaque combat est une plaie pour un casual à cause d'un autre joueur qui construit la tour eiffel en 3 secondes, dans laquel on ne le retrouvera pas, pour nous éliminé nous joueurs qui ne nous rappelons même plus des touches tant ça fait longtemps qu'on a pas touché au jeu... C'est désagréable au possible et décourageant si vous n'avez pas de fortes habitudes de jeux. Cela fait 2 ans que je n'y ai pas touché et je ne suis pas prêt d'y retourner.

This is my guilty pleasure. Except that it is just a pleasure and i dont feel guilty for it.

I started playing this game in Summer 2022, when I fell in love with a person who is a huge Fortnite Fan. I strongly connect this game to that person and almost every game i ever played (~70 hours until now) I played with this person in Duos or Groups. (and I only play in No Build Mode)

And here is the thing. I randomly joked about this game in the past. I never took it seriously and never really wanted to try it. Until i learned that Fortnite is a game where this person finds happiness and fun whenever they needed it. Its a place to calm them down und brighten up their day - especially when it was rough.

And i know this feeling. I know games that are a safe haven for me. Games that make me feel home, that comfort me. Thats why I wanted to try Fortnite for myself. I wanted to understand why this game is such a happy place for that person.

And i gotta say Fortnite is SO much fun. Its SO colorful and SO dorky and SO motivating. Multiplayer Shooters can be super frustrating, especially when you don't really get what you did wrong. And sometimes you didn't do anything wrong it was just bad luck. In Fortnite I never had that feeling. I always felt that I had control over whats happening and this feels pretty good.

And I LOVE that its not just a shooter. You can do soooo much stuff in this ever changing world. Between kills and progression we danced in a Rave Cave to some high bpm Techno, we played with huge beach balls in a forest, we demolished a city with our cow catching car, we looked for treasure and dugged them up and we did hundreds of other things.

Fortnite never got boring and we always had tons of fun no matter what mental state we were into at that moment.

I am now a big fan and I am so excited for what is yet to come.

While not the greatest video game ever made, it is fun to enjoy with friends, whether playing in Battle Royale or Creative mode. It does have its flaws, such as overpowered weapons and hackers, but it is a decently polished game and overall is a fun experience. Especially to meme.

I know I will sound like a second grader saying this but this game gets too much shit. Honestly I have sunk thousands of hours into this game when I was a wee lad. I still come back to play this game every now and then. Also this game got millions of players worldwide to play in such a short time span and it still has a large, active player base. Don't think any other game has come close other than minecraft.

P.S.: the new seasons are doodoo water though

Due to its hype in the zoomer generation, most millenials hate Fortnite. I think it is thus underrated in our generation to a certain degree. I've been playing it a lot lately and I have to say that I find to be one of the more challenging battle royal experiences. The gunplay is weird but if you truly want to master the building aspect it is quite skillful. The whole look is sort of childish, but to be honest, I find CoD Warzone in its masculinity and broness WAY more childish than Fortnite. Fortnite has a quite interesting colour palette and its bright colours definitely give it its own peculiar style and aesthetic. I really enjoy the looks now that I have my own skin.

And not to forget, hearing those peepsy baby voices of ten year olds in your team shouting around trying to win that Victory Royal is a priceless experience.

This review will only focus on the free Battle Royal mode of Fortnite.

Fornite BR has swept the world: I even saw it in the local news. I decided to board the hype train and see what all the fuss was about. After downloading the PC client, the game, and linking my amazon account I was finally ready to rumble. Diving into my first match I quickly noticed how Fortnite is different from the competition PUBG. The client though slow to download updates was much more stable, matches start very quickly and the action is immediate. The gunplay is very different - favoring hit scan for most weapons. Gone are the endless attachments, replaced by a color rating. The map is small and has no vehicles and all the town names are easily pronounced. In addition, players can destroy the environment to some extent and build simple structures.

But how does this change the gameplay? If you find yourself visiting tilted towers you'll find that verticality plays a huge role in getting the drop on your enemy. Players who build effectively can get the upper hand on their opponents and control the battlefield terrain is a huge part of the game. Since building can give you a big advantage, weapons that use explosives are also extremely useful. Finding a rocket launcher can be helpful in taking down late game enemy structures.

Overall, the fast-paced action of Fortnite is what really draws in the crowds. Getting into the action quickly with few hickups is very appealing. You consistently find action and finding that golden weapon feels very rewarding. The tactics may be different from more competitive shooters - but that is a good thing. The unique aspects of Fortnite help to make the experience more memorable. There are some minor balance issues with weapons that should be addressed (shotguns seem to be a go-to for all situations/players). In addition, weapon variety and map variety is very limited. With only one very small map and a few types, the appeal won't last for everyone.
